In a bid to take essential healthcare services closer to rural communities and improve access to basic medical facilities, TP Central Odisha Distribution Limited (TPCODL) has launched its fourth Mobile Health Dispensary (MHD) under its corporate social responsibility (CSR) programme, ‘Aarogya’. The initiative underscores the company’s continued commitment to strengthening grassroots healthcare and extending medical support to underserved communities across its area of operation.

The dispensary was inaugurated by Gajanan Kale, Chief Odisha Distribution Business and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of TPCODL, in the presence of senior company officials at the organisation’s corporate office in Bhubaneswar. The newly launched mobile unit is expected to benefit more than 30,000 people across 120 gram panchayats under Bhubaneswar-II Circle, covering the Nayagada, Balugaon and Khordha electrical divisions. It will operate according to a pre-designed schedule to ensure that healthcare services reach communities in the designated areas. Since the inception of the initiative, more than six lakh beneficiaries have received medical assistance across TPCODL’s operational area.

Equipped with a qualified MBBS doctor and medical support staff, the mobile health dispensary will provide free medical consultations and medicines to people in need. Its services will include health check-ups, basic treatment, medical prescriptions and the distribution of medicines. The facility will also extend referral services to patients requiring further medical attention, wherever necessary. In addition to providing medical assistance, the mobile unit will organise community awareness sessions on preventive healthcare, personal hygiene, nutrition and healthy lifestyle practices, with the aim of promoting better health outcomes and improving overall community well-being.

 “It has been our constant endeavour to extend our support and build a healthy community. This Mobile Health Dispensary is a testament to our commitment to enabling better and easier access to quality healthcare. We will continue to work actively through various CSR initiatives towards the holistic development of society,” said Gajanan Kale, Chief Odisha Distribution Business and CEO, TPCODL.

The initiative reflects TPCODL’s continued focus on inclusive community development by addressing essential healthcare needs at the grassroots level. Through its CSR programmes, the company seeks to bridge gaps in access to basic medical services, particularly among rural and underserved populations, while encouraging greater awareness of preventive healthcare and healthy living. By taking essential medical services directly to communities, the company aims to reduce barriers to accessing healthcare and ensure that people in remote and underserved areas have better opportunities to receive timely medical assistance

Through ‘Aarogya’ and other community-focused initiatives, TPCODL seeks to contribute to the development of healthier, stronger and more empowered communities across its operational area. The launch of the fourth mobile health dispensary marks a further step in these efforts, bringing medical consultation, treatment support and health awareness closer to people’s doorsteps and reinforcing the importance of accessible healthcare as a key component of sustainable community development.
